Last year we featured fine artists Susan Thomas, Kate Peachy, Laura Black, Rick Burnett, Thomas Avery, Debby Peterson and newcomer, Carol Heath, along with others. Many returning artists displayed new facets of their creative spirit by introducing works in a different media. Some of the cross over art included painted furniture by glass painter Gale Upmal, and carved wampum objects de art by Marica Portier whose wampum shell jewelry is always a hit.

Adding whimsy to last years affair were Coco Franciose who features functional plant containers, Patty Swartz with her colorful bouy collection and coconut critters and Larry�s sand dollar magnets. Pet fashions by Susan Schaal brightens our animal friends style as they prance off with colorful collars and hats.

One of a kind jewelry was available and included affordable pieces made from sea glass to bronze and everything in between. Tom Taylor offered his one of a kind wire wrapped high grade gemstone jewelry. Joyce Straiton demonstrated the art of creating hand made glass beads and then fashions them into beautiful jewelry. Suzanne Buxton worked in silver, and Sara Russel returned with her designs.

Fabric art and items for the house and home were offered by Joanne Jarzombeck. Fabric art clothes and accessories were offered by weaver Clair Perrault. The fun and friendly Peggy Taylor had glass dancers. Sharona�s hand painted KW shirts are always popular and Daisy Cake Soaps were a bathing indulgence perfected
